basics

Growing up and being based in the Northeast part of the good ol’ US of A, I have lived in VT, NY, MA and currently NJ. My whole life the process of creation has been evident, from drawing, painting and sculpture to design and animation. I received my Bachelors in New Media Design & Imaging from RIT in ’06. During my time in college and since then I have worked as a promotional artist as well as designer and animator and most recently as a freelance artist in these areas. I’m a huge fan of outdoor adventures, snowboarding, basketball, travel and exploration- where I tend to get a lot of my inspiration…

philosophy

My work is often created with a certain sense of experimentation and exploration. Many of the mediums I work with were not initially intended to be combined with each other (watercolor board + acrylics + cut paper) but I use them in the ways I see fit to generate the look and feel I’m going for. Bringing the idea of tactility and weathering into the work creates a mood and provides the viewer with sensations they might not always experience when viewing a work of art. From such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp and Mark Rothko I’ve expanded upon the techniques and ideas they used to develop my own vision. The subject matter ranges from entirely conceptual political statements to literal content that may be just for fun or what sparks my interest; often involving abstraction. Sometimes the work is intended to generate an intense dialogue, via critical commentary and sometimes its intended just to entertain.

My work is mostly personal, but I do harbor the desire to share it with the world. Explore, comment, purchase, share and contact how ever you would like.
